India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) is ramping up its crackdown on terror funding, as fresh investigations reveal massive financial support fueling terrorist activities across the country. Intelligence agencies warn that terror funding poses the biggest threat to national security, and they’re not holding back in their fight against it.
The NIA’s probes show money flowing from various sources to back Jihadi groups, Khalistani militants, and other elements aiming to sow chaos. This funding helps stir up protests against government policies, disrupt development projects, and even target operations against Maoists. Security forces are on track to eliminate the Maoist threat by 2026, but troublemakers are planning violent demonstrations to spread false narratives and create unrest.
Adding to the worries, the worsening crisis in Bangladesh has triggered alerts about large-scale illegal immigration. Indian forces are actively pushing back infiltrators, but intelligence points to a calculated plan by Pakistan’s ISI and Bangladesh’s DGFI to flood villages with settlers. The goal? Alter demographics and spark communal tensions. With Bihar elections approaching, agencies fear heightened attempts to disrupt voting and boost illegal entries into the state.
The Indian government is taking a firm stand, instructing security forces to stay tough. But fake human rights groups, backed by foreign funds, might stage protests and paint pushbacks as a humanitarian disaster. This external funding aims to undermine peace and harmony in India.
Pakistan’s role has come under sharp focus too, especially after its embarrassment in Operation Sindoor. The country is now pushing a false narrative campaign with heavy financial backing, making NIA’s terror funding investigations even more vital.
In a major move, the NIA carried out raids on Sunday at 22 locations across five states and Jammu and Kashmir. These searches targeted a terror conspiracy case, hitting eight spots in Bihar, one each in Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka, two in Uttar Pradesh, and nine in Jammu and Kashmir. Officials suspect these networks are plotting to ignite law and order issues and destabilize the nation.
The NIA’s efforts don’t stop there. They’re digging into cases of radicalisation, terror recruitment, and sleeper cells, leading to several arrests in recent months. The agency is also monitoring online platforms where recruiters and radicalisers operate. All this aligns with India’s zero-tolerance policy on terrorism, ensuring no stone goes unturned in protecting the country from these threats.
